The life of a celebrity is good. Especially when you get to not only go to the Grammys and see it live, but you can come to the style suite beforehand and get pampered. What is the styling suite? The suite is there for the talent and attendees of the Grammys to come and pick up designer clothes, gorgeous jewelry, shoes, and accessories to wear to the show. The pampering continues with expensive champagne, martinis, cocktails and getting your hair and makeup done by the pros.

I was lucky enough to enjoy this lavish suite and get my makeup done by the fabulous MAKE UP FOR EVER team before a night out. By the way, if you have never gotten your makeup done, and don’t consider that pampering, STOP, drop and roll over to your local mall or spa, get your face put on and experience the exquisiteness. MUFE’s makeup team houses makeup professionals that have a range of celebrity clientele and expertise. This year MUFE celebrates 25 years of exciting and groundbreaking makeup. My makeup artist for the day was Mr. -I’m so fucking fabulous… What?- David Hernandez. With 17 years of experience and a celebrity clientele ranging from the girls of Silversun Pickups, India Arie to Pamela Anderson, he’s truly a makeup genius in his own and will provide a great time as an added extra.

Also lending their brand expertise to the new movie starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart, The Runaways, they’ve made the young starlets into replicas of Joan Jett and Cherie Curie. In genuine excitement of the movie release, I asked David to give me a Dakota Fanning rocker chic look. Using an electric blue for a smokey eye, recreating the look for him was a snap. He started with eyebrows as they are very important to a look, the best way of creating a good brow is starting out with a good shape and contouring them with shadows and pencils. Don’t be afraid to try different things, a strong brow can be gorgeous with the right look as can a soft one. Aqua Eyes eyeliner and mascara accompanied by lavish lashes by MUFE, and a hot red lip completed the look. If there’s one thing I learned from this makeup adventure, it was have patience with using fake lashes. David’s tips: “Have PATIENCE!!! If you don’t have patience with lashes you’re going to frustrate yourself and ruin the lashes. If you don’t’ have patience for it then don’t put them on. Start with putting down the middle of the lash as close to the lash line as possible and work your way pressing out.” The trend to look forward to this year: colorful lips and colorful smokey eyes. To have makeup done by such an amazing professional is quite the dream but the look was yet to be complete.

Making our way over to hair, Raina from Cutler Salon was ready to style. Cutler Salon is a leading salon in New York, has amazing  hair cuts and an emphasis on training programs and education in the industry. Using a curling iron, hair spray and not too much conditioner was required to get the feathery rocker hair style. After curling, roughing it up is key.

Tada! Look completed and very Cherie Curie. Hat’s off to my fabulous makeup artist and hairstylist. Leaving the suite and luxury is definitely a hard thing after such a pampering day.

While at the suite, celebs that stopped by were: Sean Paul, Zac Brown Band and the gorgeous India Arie. (She’s a huge fan of MAKE UP FOR EVER as well.) Her favorite product she uses is the HD Foundation. Beautiful!
